Lambs for Children, offered by The Edith Fox Centre for Life & Loss in Northport, Prince Edward County, provides professional clinical grief therapy to help children recreate their world after all aspects of loss and transition. Often addressing a child’s very first loss experience is critical to normalizing the grief process and developing healthy and positive skills for life.
The Edith Fox Centre for Life & Loss is one of many not-for-profit organizations in Prince Edward County that support the fabric of our community through the provision of mental health services – in this case clinical grief counselling and therapy.
Our local businesses and community members come together annually to support the work of the Centre through “The County Garden Show” – happening this weekend, April 15 – 17, at the Crystal Palace.
“The support we receive from the vendors, the public, and sponsors, such as RBC Dominion Securities and Wight’s Greenhouses, enables us to provide opportunities throughout the year for young people to understand that loss of every kind is a part of life and to start the healing process,” said Kathleen Foster-Morgan, CEO and founder of The Edith Fox Life & Loss Centre.
The businesses featured at the Garden Show reflect the foundations of the programs delivered by the Centre - nature, gardening and the creative arts.
The County Garden Show, now in its eighth year, opens this Friday, April 15th ,from 2 to 7 p.m. with a variety of horticultural vendors focused on landscaping, greenhouse growing, floral design, nature-themed art, and garden accessories and décor all ready to inspire gardeners. What a great line up to support a great service!
